    When I retired back in 2015 I butchered my first pig and was gifted about 50# of really nice suet. I produced a large quantity of both lard and tallow. I started at 175 degrees and gradually raised the temperature 10 degrees at a time as the production dropped off at each temperature. The first half of both the lard and tallow was white as snow, the remainder was light amber in color. In 2020 we lost our house in a wild fire, but the building with the lard and tallow survived. We are still using it in 2024 and it tastes just as good, not rancid at all. It's stored in pint mason jars in the bottom of a chest freezer. The french fries are to die for!

    In my experience, if you want to use the stovetop method, you can add some water to prevent overheating/burning. The water won't mix with the tallow and you can chill the whole pot (water + tallow) and just pull the cooled slab of tallow off of the water after solidifying in the fridge. Few extra steps but works well.

When you put water in, your tallow/lard/suet wont last as long. If you do that method, keep most of it in the freezer and only bring out a singe jar/container at a time or if you did it in bulk, keep in the freezer and take out chunks as needed.

      I always add about a quart of water and a tablespoon or two of salt to the pot of tallow. Salt pulls impurities and such from the tallow. After doing this 3 or 4 times (melting tallow) and filtering through cheese cloth, the fat is snow white and no beef taste or smell. I just did a 17lb pork shoulder this weekend (21 pints) and about a pint of lard. I will filter it once since I am cooking with it.

    Around here (eastern Europe) that's called something like "pastry grease", used for many traditional pies and baked sweets. You can also use it to make top quality soap.
    BTW those "glands" you're trimming out are actually lymph nodes, no bad odors or unpleasant textures there, just a soft savory tissue similar to the thymus or pancreas, quite tasty in stews and worth adding in sausage mixtures.

    Beef tallow has been used to fry chips (what you call 'French fries') in the UK, and parts of Europe, for hundreds of years; certainly much longer than McDonald's have existed. Even now, the best fish and chips in the world are to be found in Yorkshire and Belgium where beef tallow remains the fat of choice for the most delicious fried potatoes. I am an Englishman now living in Sweden, where they do not have such a tradition, so I order beef fat from a butcher and render my own tallow in the oven. My fridge always has a good supply of freshly-rendered beef tallow (and pork lard) for cooking. Seed oils are not permitted in my house. Excellent video, sir. I enjoyed it very much

    The first pemmican recipe I ever saw was bear meat pounded into bear fat flavoured with wintergreen ! I’ve never fancied it since.

    I've found the easiest/best way for me to render tallow at home is to A) run it through grinder with the largest plate, B) use a cast iron skillet, C) use an induction plate to control the heat D) run it through a double layer of cheese cloth E) pour into aluminum steam pans to cool, F) flip in onto a cutting board and dice for future use. It comes our clean & bright white. The only "issue" is that the smell that comes through varies from animal to animal and sometimes we put it through a "wash" to reduce the odor as my wife uses much of it for soap making.

    The best reason it's good for you is it fills you up very quickly so you don't eat as much carbohydrates. Such as french fries and battered fish. That's why there was no diabetes and few fat people in the old days before processed oils. And it has so much excellent flavor.

    Beef Dripping here in England. Back in the day every Fish and Chip shop would have used it to deep fry the goods but it all went vegetable oil a long time ago when the Elf and Safety brigade got round to it. We can still buy it in stores though in 250 gram (9 oz) blocks, similar to butter, which is what I do for the 'chip pan'. Of course it's more than doubled in price over the last three years. Last I looked it was about £1.25 (1.50 USD) for a 9 oz block. In 2020 it was only 65 pence for the same - about 80 cents.

    Several things on this video...
    - That cart of tallow containers looked like a whole lot of specimens awaiting testing. :D
    - in 1993 I was a manager with McDonalds and we actually had 2 types of fryer oil. Beef tallow as for the fries and vegetable oil for the nuggets, chicken patties, and fish. We switched from beef to vegetable for the fires as well, supposedly because we only needed to keep one item on stock instead of 2, and customers really complained because the flavor changed for the fries. I believe everything is now done with some really scientific material and nothing really tastes good there any more.

    The tallow will preserve any cooked beef after rendering forever if stored in cool place. That's what they were trying to get across with the pemican. Pots O beef are cooked beef sunk into tallow, no air allowed, and stored forever if needed.

    Grew up around the London markets as a kid in the fifties and the treat for helping out on the stall was a cup of tea and a slice of bread and dripping from the cafe around mid morning - best ever! Just rendered my first beef suet in the slow cooker. Thanks for your enthusiasm and sharing your knowledge :-))

    Thank you for all that you guys are doing to educate us. We just had our 1st cow butchered and when giving the cutting instructions I had asked for the tallow. Upon picking our beef up, there was no tallow included. When asked, they said they did something else with it. That, I felt, should have been mentioned when I gave my cutting instructions. How common to you think this happens, where the processing place doesn't give the tallow back to the customer?

    We used to butcher a very large hog in the winter months and scrap the hog using boiling water and tow sacks. Dad would make quite a few things from the hog. After he made the sausage he would smoke some links until dry and then he would put them in large jars and fill bottle with hog tallow. This lasted a long time. Love y’alls videos!

    When I am cooking a brisket, I render the tallow in the smoker at the same time. Gives it a great smoky flavor (obviously). We use it instead of any oils, frying eggs, casseroles. Pretty much anything that calls for oil. Just adds an extra dimension of flavor to anything you are cooking!

    Truth. Heart disease was almost unheard of when we used tallow and lard before criso amd hydrgenated trash came about.
    I cant even consume those oils anymore withlut feeling sick.
    I switched to butter leanut tallow lard and olive and avacdo oil some time ago.
    And the flavor is so much better.

    I put my brisket fat trimmings in a pan and in the smoker to make smoked tallow. Then use that tallow when I wrap my brisket for the final cook and rest. The leftover over smoked tallow is great for frying.

  • @FLGurl
    @FLGurl 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    My innate response is that this is awesome. When I was a very young girl, I would love to eat the fat part of the beef steak when I could. Now, I trim the fat off and I put this in the pan first, and cook this down as much as I can on very low heat before I add the meat. The ten year plan sounds so incredible and I would be jumping on this bandwagon if I could. Imagine storing this first in first out and you have food that you can eat no matter what is going on! 🤗

      I’d like to ask about the temperature on the kettle. Did it stay at 200F for the whole time? Looking at the browning on the solid pieces at the end of the process I would have guessed it had been closer to 280-290F…

    I saw a documentry that explained about why we stopped using animal fats, or Lards as we called them, as cooking oils. I guess back in the years of cotton picking, they had lots and lots of the cotton seeds left and they wanted to make a use out of them, and also make more money out of their product. So they found a way to make a cooking oil out of them...but how to market it was the problem...Well, just as any other rich business owner....they lied to the public, convincing the people that animal fats were bad for u and clogged your arteries and was bad for your heart, but if u used their oils u would be healthier....it stuck, and people started believing it, so they went to these man made oils....which turns out, thats the crap that really isnt good for u....if we got back to our roots and used what was natural, from the begining of time (rendered animal fats) then we would be better for it, and we would have more wonderful flavors in our foods too.

    I've processed over 10lbs of suet into tallow many times living in my apartment. I learned that using a corkscrew meatgrinder is a gamechanger for rendering animal fat. The meatgrinder does something to the fat that it renders almost instantly as heat is applied to it. It will easily render at a temperature of 70C/158F and it will happen in minutes not hours. And produce tallow with no cooked/burnt fat smell or taste. It does not work the same if the suet is chopped, no matter how fine. It has to be a corckscrew meatgrinder.

    I've done this on the stove top but I add about a quart of water so the tallow doesn't burn. When it's cool, the tallow hardens sitting on the water and all the nonedible bits sink into the water.
    I've always wondered about pemican, glad to see you guys try it. I'd like to make some but adding some spice to it would definitely give it some flavor. I do think I had a gland or 2 in the last batch I did because it has a peculiar off flavor that overpowers everything.
